MORRISTOWN, N.J. (Morris County) — A Maryland man has been sentenced to four years in state prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from sexually explicit online communications with an undercover investigator posing as a 13-year-old girl, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office announced.
Cristobal Slobodzian, 38, of Hyattsville, Maryland, was sentenced June 26 by Superior Court Judge Ralph Amirata after pleading guilty March 30 to one count of third-degree endangering the welfare of a child and one count of third-degree obscenity.
According to prosecutors, the investigation began in July 2025 when Slobodzian used a teen chat application to contact someone he believed was a 13-year-old girl. The individual was actually an undercover agent with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Authorities said Slobodzian engaged in sexually explicit conversations with the undercover agent and sent numerous images of his genitals.
Investigators determined Slobodzian lived in Prince George’s County, Maryland. On Nov. 12, 2025, members of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, with assistance from the Prince George’s County Police Department, executed a search warrant at his residence in Hyattsville.
Slobodzian was arrested, detained in Maryland and later extradited to New Jersey.
In addition to the four-year prison sentence, Slobodzian will be required to comply with Megan’s Law registration requirements and will be subject to parole supervision for life upon his release.
The investigation involved the Prince George’s County Police Department Special Crimes Division, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children Unit and the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Digital Investigations Unit.
